Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cleaning the kid's room

[Karen Carlson (kcarlson2]

Our community assigns one family with children to clean our 2 kids rooms for a 
week.  It's up to the parents how often (and how thoroughly) in their week this 
needs to be done. Some parents include their children in the clean up.  Mostly, 
this system works but, as with all things, some parents are more diligent than 
others.

On this theme, I encourage my fellow dog people to pick up all the dog poop on 
the sidewalk sides of our property.  Of course, we always pick up after our own 
dogs but since parents are not just picking up after their own children, it 
seems a reasonable expectation.
